Shanghai is still strongly pushing to build a Disney theme park, government sources say, and construction could begin in 2010 if negotiations proceed well.

"The Shanghai municipal government has set up a special team with the United States-based Walt Disney Co that will study a theme park plan," said Li Wei, a spokesman for the Shanghai municipal government.

"Once the team reach a consensus on relevant requirements, the Shanghai municipal government will formally raise the theme park plan to the central government for approval," Li said.
